XBMC with Mysql and samba shares, problem with rar archives
#1
Greetings all!

I have encountered some unusual problems. XBMC will not read the content of new rar archives before restart, sometimes i need to re-add them to the mySQL database from my windows 7 machine. Wich shouldn't have anything to do with the problem. I can list the files and content (not in library mode) on my W7 machine but not on the OSX. Sometimes i just need to restart XBMC and somethimes i need to reboot the OSX machine in order for it to find the content of the rar achive. Problems do not affect unpacked files. And it also seems to come and go, it has been working flawlessly for about 1 week before i started to see any problems.

My current setup is a Qnap NAS with 2 computers, one mac mini and one laptop with Windows 7. Qnap is storing everything and running the MySQL server for now (database query is sloooow when transmission is running, need my xbmc to be snappy Smile

Anyone have any ideas?
Just let me know if you need any logs and so on.

Cheers!

UPDATE!

Seems to be a problem with SMB. For some reason i can't play certan mkv files, even with VLC. Tho i see the share and content, the file isn't playing. Error log follows when trying to play a mkv file:

UPDATE 2

Seem to have found the problem. Since i'm centralising the system, i log in to a share called thumbnails. Since i link to this folder /Volumes/thumbnails in my xbmc folder in order to get the thumbnails synced between the systems. XBMC connects to this share using the guest account. And since the user xbmc is connected this stops certan files from being played. The reason for the on and off is when the guest user is timed out. Probably going to solve this by using rsync instead on the systems in order for thumbnails folders to be synced. Should also give me a boost in speed.

Sorry if i'm just rambling but it's very late over here and i'm just happy to have located the problem
